New Idea for increase Bioavailability.

There are many great compounds out there that we as humans simply do not use, because of the absolutely terrible bioavailability.

The studies show amazing, out-of-this-world benefits using lets say 50mg of an injected supplement.

We see these studies, run to the nearest store and take 50mg of this same supplement orally, then wait... nothing happens. Why? Because of the 50mg we took of whatever the supplement is at the time, only 0.25mg made it pass the liver.

Here comes the novel idea.

Booze. ....

If the liver is preoccupied with dealing with alcohol, is it possible that we could get more active supplement by it?

I was reading some theories on the French Parodox on various boards, and some people came up with the theory that~

Although Resveratrol has something like 0% Bioavailability in humans, wine drinkers somehow get a lot of the benefits of it (Resveratrol).

One of the answers I saw a few posters come up with was that...

Resveratrol got by the liver in wine drinkers to administer its amazing effects, because the liver was preoccupied dealing with the alcohol content of the wine.

Sorry the liver is not preoccupied with one substance which allows other substances to pass through unaltered or undetedcted, the liver does not function like that. The bioavailibility of reseveratol in wine is probably the result of other substances in the wine that increase the body's ability to absorb it, think almost like how adding a methyl group to certain steroids increases there oral bioavailibility, same principle at work. But no the liver is not busy dealing with another substance, put that idea to rest.

Explain why you think the liver can not be preoccupied by alcohol, resulting in higher bioavailability in Resveratrol.

Because the liver is not a person who can get distracted by some Hogan's Heroes trickery. You can't preferentially task the liver to concentrate upon one thing (the alcohol) so that other things can sneak past it like a befuddled Sgt. Schultz.

Awesome Hogan's Heroes reference!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to yeahright again.

now thats original.....

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.-Psalm 18:2

Sorry but this is not true. As a pharmacist of 30 yrs I can say this categorically.

For more information about this, read "bioavailability" article in Wikipedia.

depends on how much you drink, there are 2 pathways, the ADH pathway and MEOS pathway, you can only upregulate the MEOS pathway (the ones that the orals we take use) by using it a lot. the more you use it the more tolerant you get especially with alcohol.

the thing is in occational drinkers we only use the ADH pathway which is why more damage occurs to binge drinkers as oppoesed to alcoholics (brain vs liver respectivly)

it is more pre occupied with the alcohol if we drink first, which allows the other substances to basically all pass through instead of break down, so instead of getting .25 mg of a 1mg xanax you will get more.

While this is a weird idea.. I've always thought that certain supps should be sublingual.. such as NO products: The sublingual route is shunted directly to your veins and your heart: leading to faster substance effects in your arteries and veins- a sublingual NO product should be fast acting and more effective!

Do you know if xanax puts stress on the liver like alcohol would, whilst on a cycle?
